This was a disaster on my end, I was doing it incorrectly

Incorrect and actual that I wrote

PLAYLIST = 'playlist'
class PlaylistTest(TestCase):
    def insert_playlist(playlist_name=PLAYLIST):
        Playlist.objects.add_playlist(playlist_name)

    def test_add_one_video_to_playlist(self):
        self.insert_playlist()
        self.assertEqual(Playlist.objects.count(), 1, msg='playlist count is not 1, it is ' + str(Playlist.objects.count()))

I forgot to add self to my class method, which is why class instance was being passed all the time

Correct implementation

PLAYLIST = 'playlist'
class PlaylistTest(TestCase):
    def insert_playlist(self, playlist_name=PLAYLIST): # added self as first parameter here
        Playlist.objects.add_playlist(playlist_name)

    def test_add_one_video_to_playlist(self):
        self.insert_playlist()
        self.assertEqual(Playlist.objects.count(), 1, msg='playlist count is not 1, it is ' + str(Playlist.objects.count()))

and things started to work fine!
thanks for all who answered and thought about the problem
